<\/div>\r\n\r\nJavier is a palaeobiologist currently working as a PhD student in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Cambridge, UK. His main academic interests include the palaeobiology and evolution of invertebrates, particularly arthropods, during the &Cambrian Explosion some 530 million years ago. His current research consists of investigating aspects of the fundamental body organization of some of the oldest arthropod groups in the fossil record, such as trilobites, by making comparisons with the developmental biology of extant representatives. Some of Javier\u2019s other research ventures include the taxonomy and palaeoecology of rudist bivalves and deep-sea trace fossils from Mexico (undergraduate research at the National Autonomous University of Mexico), the morphology and phylogeny of various Cambrian and Ordovician arthropod groups (Master\u2019s degree, University of Bristol, UK) and the study of carbonaceous microfossils of animal origin that complement the information available from the macroscopic fossil record. \r\n\r\n
